A display on the approach to the Sydney Harbour Bridge, now part of the "Pathway to Reconciliation". The plaque at the back says "On 28 May 2000, more than 250,000 people walked across the Sydney Harbour Bridge in support of reconciliation. In the months that followed, a million more Australians participated in similar walks throughout the nation. Mari budjari yana." Aboriginal reconciliation these days seems to be progressing past the stage of superficiality to more general consensus and acceptance. I often see the Aboriginal flag flown in random places beside the Australian flag, and I haven't really detected the infamous condescension towards Aborigines that very recently was so widespread.
